The two of them chatted about their experiences in Paris. Time passed quickly, and Chen Xing was about to get off the car in a blink of an eye. Xie Siyan quickly asked for Chen Xing's WeChat account and said, "Listen to what you said, we have met several times in Paris. Let's add a friend. We can have a meal together when we are free." Chen Xing did not. Thinking so much, he rarely refuses girls' requests to be friends.
She just said: "You have to be careful and don't go outside Little Paris alone. Districts 18, 19, and 20 are not very peaceful." Her friends also said this, but Xie Siyan never said it Feeling as profound as today.
After getting off the subway, Chen Xing found a cafe to eat and waited for Abel to come find him. Just after 12 o'clock, Chen Xing's cell phone rang before she finished her meal.
After telling Abel her current location, she sat in front of Chen Xing within five minutes. Today she changed into a set of clothes. The down jacket was replaced by a woolen coat. Underneath was a burgundy sweater. It was very slim and very similar to Chen Xing's clothes. From a distance, it looked like a couple's outfit.
"Your clothes are very good today." Chen Xing took the initiative to praise. It suited his eyes very well. Abel smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment. Then we will go to the museum in the afternoon? Are there any changes in your schedule?"
"No change, wait until I finish eating." Chen Xing speeded up his meal. The meal that had not been finished for half an hour was now finished in two or three minutes. After drinking coffee and resting for a few minutes, the two of them headed towards Walking towards the Musée d'Orsay which is not very far away.
There are three largest and most famous museums in Paris, known as the three major museums. The first is definitely the world-famous Louvre, the second is the Musée d'Orsay, and the third is the Georges Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture.
It is worth mentioning that the place where he and John met in the morning was outside the Center Pompidou.
Abel soon entered the state of a tour guide, and while walking, he introduced Chen Xing to the Musée d'Orsay he was about to go to.
"The Musée d'Orsay was converted from a train station more than a hundred years ago. The original intention of establishing the Musée d'Orsay was to connect the Louvre and the Center Pompidou in a practical sense. The Louvre collects works before 1860 The Pompidou collects art from 1905 onwards, and most of the art collected by the Musée d’Orsay is between them.”
“It turns out that these museums were established based on the time of collection.”
"Yes, but it's not absolute. When we get there, you will find that the collection there also contains famous works of art from other periods." The two chatted about the museum for a while, and then Chen Xing thought of John Jean. Regarding my registration, I asked: "Is the Paris Art Academy recruiting students recently?"
"Yes, have you noticed that there are a lot more painters in Paris these days? Most of them are here to take the exam." Chen Xing told her what John said to her before, and Abel nodded and said, "He There’s nothing wrong with that, the only thing you have to consider is whether you can pass the exam...Although I have never studied art, I have heard from friends that it is really difficult.”
"It depends on luck." Chen Xing said. With luck, he will also be a college student. While we were talking, we arrived at the Musée d'Orsay.
Like many attractions in Paris, entry here is free for those under 26 years of age. Chen Xing and Abel were admitted after showing their certificates.
The Musée d'Orsay displays paintings, sculptures, cultural relics, installation art works and other exhibits in different categories.
There are too many museums in Paris. In terms of popularity, the Louvre is more famous than the Musée d'Orsay, so why did Chen Xing choose to put the first museum he visited here?
Because of Abel’s introduction, here is the largest collection of Impressionist works in the world. Chen Xing likes Impressionist works.
The characteristic of Impressionist works is to emphasize people's feeling and impression of light and shadow of external objects. This is similar to Chen Xing's feeling of light and shadow in photography, except that photography focuses on reality, while in painting, Impressionism focuses on the painter's heart. reaction.
They are all art of light and shadow, one outward and the other inward. Chen Xing personally feels there is no essential difference.
The first thing Chen Xing saw when entering the museum was the paintings. Abel introduced the paintings to Chen Xing. She also gained some knowledge last night. She could tell some stories about most of the paintings here.
"This is Monet's Rouen Cathedral. Monet is the founder of Impressionist painting. The name Impression in Impressionism evolved from Monet's "Sunrise, Impression". Conservative people at the time could not accept it. A reporter criticized the new painting style and published an article called "An Exhibition of Impressionism", which mocked the painters. Then, Impressionism was born out of ridicule." Chen Xing's close-up view Look at this "Rouen Cathedral".
When you get closer, you can see that this painting is nonsense. It is also a painting. Look away.
Wow, what a great painting! Chen Xing could imagine how ridiculous people felt when they saw this painting, but it had to be said that this painting was actually like the world seen by people with thousands of degrees of myopia wearing plain glasses that were filled with fog.
Impressionism is like this. It is not limited to reality and mainly expresses the inner world. In addition to paintings, sculptures here are also famous. The 19th century was the heyday of sculptures. The more than 2,000 sculptures collected by the Musée d'Orsay also show the world the amazing achievements of this period.
Chen Xing was not very interested in sculpture art and just browsed it briefly. Compared with painting or photography, the art form of sculpture is a little inferior... Of course, this is just Chen Xing's personal opinion, and he will not speak out his thoughts.
By the time they came out after visiting the museum, it was already three hours later. Abel was happily discussing the paintings he had just seen with Chen Xing. At this time, she was not like a tour guide at all. She was just a friend who visited the museum with Chen Xing. It was just that this friend had a little more knowledge and could provide Chen Xing with more information. Xing introduces the background of some paintings.
But Chen Xing still couldn't help but think about the photography works in the museum. It turns out that photos can also be collected in museums.
My plan for today and tomorrow is to visit museums. Among other things, I must visit the three major museums.
The Louvre is too big to browse through in one day, so Abel took Chen Xing to the Pompidou Center first.
This visit was not as pleasant as the previous visit to the Musée d'Orsay. The main reason is that Chen Xing doesn't understand the so-called artwork here.
A piece of white paper, a few dots of paint, can be placed in a museum for people to visit? A huge piece of white paper, with holes for the mouth and eyes cut out with scissors, and another hole cut out on the forehead. This was also placed in the most conspicuous position. Is it a work of art?
So hellish. This is also a work of art, and the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics was also a successful opening ceremony.
Chen Xing is completely unable to understand the so-called modern art.
